Last Day of School!

Today is my baby's last day of Kindergarten! I can't believe it! She's so big! She has grown leaps and bounds since the beginning of the school year, and I am amazed at how smart she is. (I always knew she was smart, but it's always amazing to me.)

Adelle and some of her friends.

Thank you Ms. Marasa for a wonderful year of Kindergarten.

For you Becky...

I made your bread sticks last night Becky and they were yummy, but not as good as yours. I think I might have over-cooked them a bit (my oven is really screwy). Here is the recipe for those of you that want. They are so good!

Sunshine Cupcakes

I have discovered nickjr.com at it is awesome!!! They have these monthly themes with weekly lesson plans for preschoolers. You know for the mom like me that struggles to find things to do with my preschooler. A couple of weeks ago we made these cute cupcakes.

It was a lot of fun for the kids. They ate theirs before I could get a pic but this one is mine. Just thought I'd share :)

Scooting & Clapping (and me making a fool of myself)

Pulling up (he's a little backwards he pulled up first) By the way adelle took this video:)

Funny crawl (look close he puts on leg in front and pushes with his other foot)

Lemon Cookies

These cookies here are my first attempt at the culinary arts and I made up my own recipe. (well I truly took half of one recipe and half of another and combined them.) I have to say they turned out really good. (disclaimer: a lot of this recipe is to taste I didn't use exact measurements, just make sure you don't add too much lemon juice or the cookies will turn into a carmelized mess on your cookie sheet. And the filling will need to be poured instead of spread:)cookie

1/2 cup confectioners sugar

1/2 cup butter

1 cup flour

1/4 t. salt

1/4 t. baking soda

2-3 T. lemon juice

Lemon zest to taste

Bake @ 350 for 10-15 min. let cool then chill.

filling

1/2 cube cream cheese (softened)

confectioners sugar to taste

Lemon juice to taste (but not too much because you will make the filling runny)

Lemon zest to taste

mix all together and spread on cookie and sandwich with another cookie.

I really liked them cold, but they're good room temperature.

My new swim suit!

This post is mostly for my mom and sister. We love to share our shopping excursions, and since they're so far away they have to see pictures.
This is the swim suit I bought a little bit a go and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! I hides all the bumps and bulges and keeps me all together. It is fabulous and I feel fabulous in it! Maybe I'll even be brave enough to have my picture taken in it:)
